The Braves opened their series in Minnesota last night with a 7-3 loss to the Twins. Braves starting pitcher Kyle Davies was fine until the 4th inning, as the Twins scored 5 runs. Offensively for Atlanta, home runs in the game from Jeff Francouer and Scott Thorman. Willie Harris added 3 hits. Game-2 of the series this evening from Minneapolis--Chuck James gets the pitching start.
3rd baseman Chipper Jones did not return to the lineup last night, but he could play tonight or tomorrow. He's missed a long stretch of action as he recovers from bruised hands. However, he's hopeful of a return on this road trip, which continues in Cleveland this weekend.
